Agir now arrived at the scene, Alaric asks him, "So old man what do you have to offer me... I mean you are known for your power after all".
Agir with a stern expression, raised his palm, "Xrbawa", the fire slowly emerged from him gathering like a ball in his palm, the Monarchs body slowly started to light from them a fire barrier emerged covering them from harm.
Lived turned around and took San in his arms, then covered himself with a barrier of Darkness, an orb, he was sweating from the upcoming attack, but Alaric was still sitting on the throne, with a proud-blank expression he looked down on him and his skills.
The Monarchs saw a being above Agir, the being was like black fire, the being stood before Agir's eyes and asked, "What do you want? oh the worthy one".
Agir stated, "Burn them all, all that is before my eyes", the being smirked and the fireball in his palm, generated millions of energy equal to the Fire, burning everything down, the castle wall, the remaining Corpse, all melted from the hit of fire, Alaric was smiling as he got covered too, San and Lived were in the orb, being protected by the fire.
After the fire cooled down, Darya was curious what had happened, he felt they landed on land, a ground of dust, as he looked, 'Ashes... this Oldman, he burned them all and what was that Being, he is insane, was it the devil', the thoughts were rolling in his mind nonstop, Piling then stated, "Old man, I can feel him" Agir looked at him, "What do you mean?", Piling pointed at the Royal chair, "The Kaiser is still alive".
'How, there is no way, what dirty trick did you use', Thought Agir to himself, "It seems there is someone after all in this world, who could hold himself to my fire, What kind of dirty trick did you use, great Kaiser".
Alaric stood up and his chair turned into ashes, "In the past, you were known as the exterminator of all things, no one could stand beside you and say I am his true rival but now it seems I have reached that level, I now have greater powers, my new powers are far behind your human capabilities".
Sighs, "I don't think that was the answer I was looking for", then Alaric Continued and said loudly, "do you know why your fire of hell, never touched me, even though it came like a tsunami and ceased everything before us".
Raising his hand and releasing an ominous aura he screamed, "I am now the strongest, I am the hell, just like you I summon my powers from hell", shocking expression caught Agir's face, "As your fire came near it did not dare to touch me, after all, I am just like you worthy of its power".
As the orb of darkness broke, Lived heard everything, now he understands why his powers are different from back then, "Now I understand, no wonder you lost your humanity, you have become a spawn of the devil, pitch dark heart".
With a satisfied smile, Alaric answered, "Isn't that you, old friend".
Holding his sword, infused it with fires he manipulate, "So I must slice your flesh to pieces by myself", Agir moved in the Speed of sound and came before Alaric, as he swung Alaric vanished before him, shocking him, then he reappeared holding him by the head.
"You little brat", Agir with one hand caught his left arm and generated fires, that throw him and Alaric far from each other, Agir kept on generating fire, they burst and followed him like he was a mouse being chased by the Cat.
Alaric knew his fire would be fatal, so he kept on dodging them until he made some distance then he breathed the air in, 'Air of hell', as he breathed out the air, it totally changed and clashed with the fire, cooling it down easily.
Agir proudly stated there as he kept on swinging fires, "You mentioned earlier that you are worthy because the hell chose you, don't lie, I can see it with my own eyes, you sold your soul, unlike you I was chosen", Agir headed directly into close combat, he kept on swinging while Alaric kept on dodging.
Lived was concerned and was asked by San, "What does this mean, that he has the power of fire or what?", he replied, "Possibly but as far as I know, those who make deal with the entity called hell, possess all the powers of hell", San knew his master doesn't give a direct answer, then the 3 Monarchs appeared behind him, then Darya said, "You mean he has become the hell itself", Lived answered calmly, yes.
Lived looked at them, "Monarchs", San then got his stand and stated, "It's you again, you almost killed us, the master let's take them down as the Oldman is not paying attention to us", San knew what he was doing, the truth was he just wanted to fight and test his new powers against powerful opponents, Lived waved at San to lower his sword, "They are good and with us, the Oldman earlier could have killed us both but spared us, even though it didn't seem so, but now we have an important thing to deal with".
The three Monarchs knew something about San, but as long as Agir did not want to do himself, they kept on the calm, then thought to himself, 'We are in the middle of war but no one cares about the main goal here, San stomped and stated loudly, "My name is San, I am sorry for doubting you earlier... but I must ask why you Monarchs are so calm, not revealing even a single ounce of energy?".
Piling came before him and with his index finger pushed him, "We know who you are kid and don't you see that he is fighting, the Oldman or I should say your foster father", San stood up and asked, "And how do you know my relationship with him, are you...", San put his sword on Piling's neck, then a hand caught the sword, it was Agir himself, San looked behind him, Agir had sealed Alaric inside a prison, that looks like an orb of fire.
San knowing there is no threat behind him, "Father...", As Agir countered let go of his sword, San lowered it with his head, "I am your son father, San, do you remember me?", Piling stepped back, "Is this supposed to be an emotional moment now?", Asked Pola, Piling, "I don't know, let's just observe as Always".
Lived was concerned about the orb so he went before it and checked it out.
Agir showing a kind side for the first time, he took San in a hug and said, "Idiot I never forget my children...", tears on San, "...I am sorry for giving you up, it was a mistake, I ruined your life but I will try my bes-", The orb that contained Alaric, slowly cracked, taking the attention of everyone, Lived standing before it, in a matter of a second, the orb splits, the fire departed, suddenly Lived's left arm flew in the air, San looked with the terror's eyes, his master's hand was cut.
From the orb Alaric jumped screaming, "How unequal of you to prefer him above us father, I thought you loved us all equally, at least that what I heard", Agir thinking about the past he does not remember Alaric, "I don't remember to have a son that would dare to stand against me, I taught them all to be respectful to their elders".
"It's okay father, I am kind and forgiving, I will forgive you...", SMIRKED Alaric, "...and I am also strong like you".
Releasing energy, the ominous feeling finally came at him, Agir is a man who would go as far as to kill the dearest person to him if that person threatened the lives of humans.
"Then Finally I will fight with a worthy opponent and I am glad he is my Son", Smiled Agir.
*****
Amazingly the damaged Lived collapsed, despite the pain he did not show any scream of pain, only an expression, Alaric then stated, "I know this was nothing, you wild fox", San was wondering what he meant by this, San ran towards his master, as he went to Lived, lived blood turned into darkness and the separated cling to the body, then the darkness covered the injury, as San got to him, he saw Lived clenching his fist, as if nothing happened, Agir and the three Monarchs surrounded Alaric, San ignored his master, he so many questions, but he stood before Alaric.
With the demonic eye, "I will kill you", Alaric responded, "Oh, my broth-".
Alaric stopped he felt a threat was coming and drew his sword out and suddenly appeared Lived, striking him, Alaric countered it with his sword, but Alaric's sword got broken, 'How can he move so fast', Thought Alaric to himself.
As Lived vanished, from the behind he felt, the earth was targeting him, it was Piling's attack, the earth came at him like mouth, trying to devour him, 'Nice try', Alaric jumped and spun in the air, Alaric threw his broken sword at Piling, "Emerge from the earth and protect me with the hand you sworn to do", a hand emerged from the earth and caught the sword, Alaric smiled and screamed as he was in mid-air, "Zerplatze", the broken sword exploded, the explosion melted the hand and threw Piling far away and off-balance.
Darya managed to catch Piling with his ice before he got any serious injury, then ice emerged from the ground, just beneath where Alaric was about to land, the ice caught his feet and dragged him, before escaping, then from mid-air, the ice was generated and caught his hand, mouth and whole body then prisoned him, it was as if he is crucified but frozen.
Darya jumped to Piling, after taking care of Alaric all by himself, "Are you OK Piling", Piling stood up with a SMIRK, "Never been better before, it's time to take care of him", Darya smiled and told him, "I already took care of him...", Piling looked with an aggressive expression, "You what?", Piling took him by the clothes, "We agreed that I will lend the final blow, even if the old man was fighting with him", Darya moved away and said, "I did it to avoid more casualties, just be grateful".
Agir had an expression, of that he is not finished, "Here he comes...", from Alaric an aura and a wind burst, heat with a high temperature started to generate in the air and melting the Ice, Agir supported his comrade with his fire, so they can withstand the heat, San looked at his hand, he saw a layer of fire above his skin, 'This old man, never stops to surprise us, all the tails he talked about when I was in the orphanage, must have all been the truth, sometimes the truth can be before you but the eyes deceive you'.
Pola was walking to Alaric, he Advanced his release, to get a boost in power, as the ice melted, Alaric stood on his two feet, 'This was close, one inch closer to my heart and I would have died, the Oldman didn't pick any common users of ice but someone even stronger... you old fox'.
Alaric saw Pola approaching him, "Now even you want a taste of my power, you Monarchs are easy to humiliate", with a smirk Pola responded, "Is that so, when I go home as a victor I be sure to tell the king about that, then we will work on about it and became better in the future but now let's go back to our fight", Pola stood before Alaric, looked him in the eyes and said, "Do you know that my power, the ability to generate steel, or so people call, is actually able to generate all things related to the element metal...", Alaric with a smiled asked, "and what does this have to do with me", looking in his eyes, "Don't you know the history, where did the metal came from...", Pola with a devilish eyes, pointed with his index finger at the sky, as everyone looked they saw, "...they came from the heavens", "OMG", "THIS MUCH POWER", a star of iron came down to earth, a summoning by Pola, Alaric looked at him and said, "You bastard, you will die too", Pola screamed with laughter, "So what, let us all die together, our end should be glorious and what is more glorious than to be killed by the heavens itself, tell me how does it feel to be cornered".
As the star descended closer to earth, it became clear that it was the size of the continent, Alaric aggressively punched Pola in the stomach, then kicked him far away, in the mid-air, Pola was smiling.
Alaric stood proudly and screamed, "I am the strongest, nothing in this world would be able to stand me, I alone will conquer the world, rise my power expand", Alaric's aura burst out, like it was fire, Agir covered the ground with his fire, so that the continent won't split from the Alaric's aura, Alaric's aura covered the air, it was the fire from hell.
The Clash of his aura and the star of iron was seen all over the world, Alaric was just in his advanced release and he managed to push it back, the earthquakes kept on increasing all around the world, especially the wind, its speed was so high, it was destroying buildings and homes, even killing people.
---Zoran's Point of view---
Zoran the king of Mrovland, felt the Clash, the earthquakes, he was in the office with his secretary, the secretary in fear asked, "What's going on, sir", with the scared look on his face, Zoran realised that Alaric, was stronger than what he anticipated.
Zoran headed outside, "Stay here and calm, send the message to the whole world, this is the final battle, soon we will be the Victorious", Zoran standing on the top of the building with the old face he smiled, "I should have gone there too, I would have minimised the damages, sighs, whatever now let's...", Zoran snapped his fingers and covered the whole west continent with a barrier, from millions of kilometres, far, he managed to create a barrier, "Barriers of heaven", the earthquake stooped and the bursting wind did too, the people were terrified, as they rushed to go home and look at the news, they heard the news say, [ACCORDING TO THE MROV STATE, THE KING ZORAN IS INVOLVED WITH THE EARTHQUAKES AND WE JUST GOT AN UPDATE THE EARTHQUAKES STOPPED, WE ALSO GOT AN UPDATE FROM ZORAN HIMSELF ALL THE PROPERTIES THAT WAS DESTROYED IN THE CLASH WOULD BE paid BACK BY THE MROV STATE]
Listening to radios, in a boat, the three Monarchs, who were left in Mrovland to protect its border, "Magnificent as Always, I can't believe he managed to take of it from this far", said Goran, then Zal who was sitting next to Him said, "Yeah man, I wonder if we could surpass him", on the top of the boat Kayan was sitting, another Monarch, he was looking at the clash, 'The Power of heaven, no one will ever surpass Zoran, the only man that could ever put up a good fight against him is the Oldman agir... wow now that I think of it, these old-men are the most powerful in the world, not to mention this kaiser is strong too, I mean just look at that much force in the air, it's easily close to 10 millions ounces of energy', the thoughts were playing in his mind, will he ever became as strong as them.
---Back to the fight---
Alaric, having advanced his energy, he managed to overcome the attack somewhat easily, with the fire he vaporised the star to dust, as the Clash ended, despite having so much energy he was exhausted, as he looked around, he saw Lived took his stand and swung a force of darkness, that can cut a powerful human into half, Alaric despite being exhausted did not give up and leaned back to dodge the attack.
Even though he leaned to dodge the attack, Alaric let down his body to collapse on the ground so that he can avoid the attack, what he forgot was the man Agir, "Live peacefully in hell", heard Alaric as he looked in his left, Agir sliced the head of Alaric, with his sword-fire.
His head flew in the air and fell to the ground.
The end of chapter 17.
